Riser House Entertainment has signed Claire Douglas to an exclusive songwriting agreement.
Douglas was born in Texas and raised in Nashville. After studying poetry and graduating from the University of Mississippi, Douglas’ passion for writing led her to begin making a name for herself in Nashville’s songwriting community. She is also the daughter of Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame inductee Tom Douglas.
Douglas says, “Getting a publishing deal is a dream come true, but joining a team like Riser House is better than I could have imagined. I’m so proud to be a part of this crew. None of this would have been possible without my family who has believed in me on the good days and bad days, my co-writers who listen to my crazy ideas and let me dream big, and everyone up and down Music Row who has encouraged me along the way. I’m so humbled and excited to start this next chapter”.
“I was blown away the first time I heard Claire’s writing and knew there was something very special about her. Having the opportunity to champion her in this business is such a privilege to our team,” says Riser House Creative Director Lexi Sutherland.
Douglas joins Riser House’s publishing roster that also includes Dallas Wilson, Dillon Carmichael, LALA, Michael Whitworth, and Rob Crosby.
